Used Hyundai IONIQ (2018) owner here. Buying is difficult, because most sellers know little about electric cars.

I recommend buying cars that come directly from a leasing contract.

Those cars often have low mileage, were serviced regularly and early problems fixed via warranty. Demand and prices for used cars are low because newer EVs have higher mileage in comparison.

Take a OBD dongle with you and read the battery SOH.

Also Check the Manufacturer warranty terms before buying.

All in all - buying a used EV was (longterm) the least expensive option for me and also less risky.

Electronic Systems tend to have more problems early on and way less, once they are "stable".

I recommend.

(But Teslas are a whole chapter for themselves. I heard horror stories with their proprietary systems and app-based-services. Maybe someone else can elaborate)

 

The amount and type of ads is just too much to handle.

White border fast paced ads on top of every comment section and every ~20 Posts is just too much ..

Syncs business model is not acceptable for me.

I wanted to buy sync adfree but 18€ is just too much.

I will switch to an open source alternative.
